Tuffy Italic Font

Tuffy Italic, Thatcher Ulrich's free humanist sans serif, has a relaxed, bookish slant and a soft, friendly rhythm. The letters feel open and straightforward, with a calligraphic lean that keeps the font from turning cold while the plain sans structure keeps it practical.

It suits interface labels, editorial subheads, web graphics, presentation slides, and packaging copy where a little motion helps the line breathe. As a free font, it also works well for title cards and pull quotes, especially when you want italic emphasis that feels easygoing rather than formal or high-contrast.
